And to what you said Bill, I advise everyone START with best quality PM they can find, and then LEARN, adopt, get things down where they can self-operate, ride that coat tail.

We're getting a long overdue price correction now but it wasn't caused by the insane lending policies that caused the credit crisis, just good old fashioned irrational exuberance and interest rates getting pushed down too low during the pandemic.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

@Sean Sousa Hey, welcome to the wild ride of home buying 😄 Denver’s a great market, though it’s definitely competitive right now.If you're looking for turnkey investment properties, a few companies you might want to check out are:Atlas Real Estate – they do property management and help investors find rentals.Roofstock – more national, but sometimes they have Denver options.Your Castle Real Estate – super local, and they really know the investor landscape here.

Does anybody ever run the results the old fashioned way to see if ChatGPT gave the right answer?

Just remember, North Texas real estate can be a bit of a wild ride, so be ready to jump on a good deal when you see one.

I got to where I enjoyed the game.Anyway, move at your own pace, take your time, smell the flowers, and enjoy the ride. 

It would be perfect for accommodating motorcyclists who come to ride the mountain roads in the fall. 

So he's going to do the management while I'm along for the ride trying to learn. 

I might ride it out a bit more.
